"Creature item" it is called in the creation list IIRC.

I assumed that adding "Dragon Breath, Fire" to the hide would give the creature the ability to use it.... but it doesn't

This is the same problem we faced with Drangonari and Changelings. You cannot apply spells on a hide anymore... the only thing you can apply is "bonus feats".
So you should either use the default ones, or make new ones, but the latter requires hak changes.

The latest avlis_main1_2.hak includes the "Dragon Breath, Fire" bonus feat, btw.

If you really only want adult stats, something on the hide is the only practical way to go

The problem is, this is supposed to be age progression. I can't go replacing the Adult with Ancient. The Ancient is godly compared to the other one. I was trying to keep this script short and sweet, less issues for its implementaion. If I do anything to modify the hide, I need to figure out what consiquence this would have on the COPAP hide itself. I did wish to implement a Young Dragon first, but didn't for this very reason, it would require lots and lots of scripting which makes it harder, and less likely to be implemented...

Funny how you started being so interested in shifters suddenly, just about the time Krystal showed up too. Interesting.

Any ideas how I can implement the fire breathing? That is the main concern right now...

Fire breathing is implemented in polymorph.2da. The only other way to do it is the way we did races, or use an inventory item with a special ability. You could probably make a plot potion that would do this.
